Welcome Thru Effingham, brought to you by Sketchpad Comedy

A sketch comedy podcast produced by Sketchpad Comedy with STL Vernacularstlsketchpod.libsyn.com
If Portlandia and Welcome To Night Vale had a baby it would be Welcome Thru Effingham. It's the city everyone has passed through and no one stops to explore. Until now, of course. Enjoy the characters and stories (that we made up) from the Crossroads of America; Effingham, IL. All characters and events in this show - even those based on real people - are entirely fictional. All celebrity voices are impersonated - poorly. The following program contains clean comedy and due to its content should not be listened to by anyone. Welcome Thru Effingham is written and performed by Sketchpad Comedy and produced by STL Vernacular with Hugmonster Sound.
